Important Update – Antenatal Referral Pathway Change

SESLHD’s latest eReferral implementation introduces a notable change to Antenatal referral pathways across SESLHD.

• A GP referral is now required for patients to access Antenatal care with required supportive information outlined on the Antenatal eForm.
• Patients will no longer be able to self‑refer to Antenatal services.
• Flexibility will be applied in specific circumstances, particularly around gestation or clinical considerations, where timely access to care is required.

Preferred Referral Method – Healthlink

As part of SESLHD’s commitment to improving the safety, efficiency, and timeliness of managing patient referrals:

• All practitioners with Healthlink access are strongly encouraged to submit referrals electronically via the Healthlink platform when referring to Outpatient services across SESLHD.
• SESLHD is progressively moving away from paper‑based referral pathways, including fax and email.
